Tires BFGoodrich or Vredestein
I bought bf winter slaloms for my girlfriend and I this year. Live in Canada. Really bad winter. They were amazing and was not disappointed. From what I read online these were best bang for the buck.
I have only been autocrossing for about a year, and picked up Neuspeed RS05s with 245/40/17 BFG rivals as my dedicated autocross/track setup. I have run 3 auto crosses with this setup and so far have had no rubbing issues.
I also put on Vredestein tires b/c factory tires were slipping when I punched it from a dead stop.
BFG Sport comp 2's. $112 each, great in the dry, great in the rain. TireRack loves them as do pretty much every review I read on them before I bought a set of my own.
In the early years (1998-99), it ran simple bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, header, no cat, software, pulleys, ac delete, LSD), but that's about it. The car did struggle on the top end grunt sometimes, but the torque was definitely there coming out of the corners...
After some research I ended up with set of Vredestein Sportrack 3.They are summer tires test winners in Germany. Made in Holland, speed rating V, should be really good on wet as you can see.
I just picked up some fresh BFG AT Ko's and they have a 1710 lb range. but they just tear up the backroads...
Seconding BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW2s water doesn't phase them.
I run KDW2s on an 8" wide wheel, which are one of the widest tires you can get in a 235. Prior to doing the fender screw mod and a very light fender rolling, I'd rub fairly often on rough pavement.
These tires were purchased along with the wheels. Two, i had a second tire begin cracking on the sidewall which they are not covering, and they are trying to pass it off due to road hazard and underinflation. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, which they aren't covering! I am posting this as a warning, and it is up to you to make the ultimate decision. This is just my personal experience, with which i am very displeased. The problem is not with the company i bought the wheels from, but with Vredestein tires. I have never had this many problems with a set of tires in my life!
